To be fair, rollerblades are way easier to animate in 3D in comparison to a bike. Not saying the bike is replaced, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were. And it the terrain really shouldn't matter, because it's not like these rollerblades act like real rollerblades. If the designers need rollerblades to go up a mountain, they will do it.

You're right, screw physics, the bike in previous games went UP stairs, so rollerblades could be possible.

I have this nagging feeling the rollerblades might not just be for navigating through the big Paris-like city. Could they be a possible replacement for the Bike? If so, that would put a HUGE restriction on its use; it's very difficult to ride rollerblades on grassy, sandy, and rocky terrain. I haven't seen any screenshot for the Bike yet, so I'm nervous the rollerblades are a new feature.

This is why I think that those roller blades were really just Heelys, which will be the replacements for the Running Shoes that will activate in cities. They'll probably keep the bike or they could replace it for a new tire pokemon that can be ridden like a motorcycle.

Haha. Yea, I think that the roller blades are the new running shoes. From the trailer, they didn't seem as fast as the bike. Maybe your player could skate at a certain speed? But, I don't know. :/ I would totally love that

it would be awesome if you could ride your Pokemon and the speed was dependant on the Pokemon aswel so a Dodrio would run faster than a Torterra

Wait, I messed up. In the trailer when the male protagonist was going to Route 3, he was running correct? Then Running Shoes must still be there and the skates might be the new bike. Ugh, this is so confusing. What's going to take a hike?

Probably the bike. It would be difficult to animate (though I'm surprised they went with roller skates instead of a skateboard.) Although the bike could be back, although I'm not sure what for.

even if we don't understand each other, that's not a reason to reject each other. There are two sides to any argument. Is there one point of view that has all the answers? Give it some thought.

^ This is the reason why I like arguing. If I come off as standoffish or overly angry in an argument, don't worry. I'm probably having the time of my life. Whether I agree with them or not, the pokemon fandom has a lot of different opinions, and I love how nobody is afraid to share them.

Well, maybe skates, running shoes, and bikes are all customizable objects. It's already been pointed out that there is the possibility of character customization in the trailer video with the fact that the male protagonist is shown without his goggle type things, showing that they are not a part of the actual character model. With that level of character customization possible available, it would not seem that far off that they could make it so a player chooses if they want to currently be using running shoes, skates, a bike, etc. Ya know?

I'm excited about the fact that after the game comes out, we could get some interesting dlc or patches since the 3ds supports that. After we complete the game, we could be surprised with some extra dlc which would be a first for the series.

DLC sounds like a really good option, as long as its fair. I hope that Unova at least appears at DLC... I mean, maybe like a whole other post-game story :P

They're not going to include entire regions as DLC, that's way too much. If they can fit that much more content in the games, they will. It's probably going to about the size of Sinnoh's Battle Zone, that's a more appropriate size for DLC.

I didn't even think of that. We could have a lot more possibilities now that we're capable of getting DLC since it's on the 3DS. I could see them making an area the size of the Sevii Islands, Sinnoh's Battle Zone, or possibly bigger, as DLC. They could even add areas where we can get legendaries from previous generations, instead of just having standard events.

That's what I was thinking too. You'd have access to completely new areas with Pokemon not seen anywhere else in the game, legendaries also not seen elsewhere, possibly some new features (maybe a Battle Frontier/PWT or Contest/Pokeathlon/Musical/PokeStar Studios type place), and even a mini storyline.

I hope they don't do this, mainly because the players without access to wifi out there get screwed over enough already. They can't use GTS, Random Matchup or the Dream World, they can't trade/battle with friends using FCs, and they can't download the wifi event pokemon that we take for granted. The last thing we need is to deprive them of huge chunks of the post-game.

If anything like that is unlockable, it should be a reward for defeating the elite four/getting all medals (if they return)/completing national dex etc...it shouldn't be dlc only.

I'm sorry to do this, but I won't be posting in the Serebii Discussion Forums anymore. My account here will remain open for trading/chatting with friends, but please be patient for a reply as my visits here will be fewer.

I've left for the greener pastures of Bulbagarden Forums, where free speech is still allowed and the rules are followed by all, including those who enforce them.

The fans of other games without wifi with DLC don't seem to cry over it...

What may work for other games, may not work all to well for Pokemon. Sure it would be nice to have DLC, but the kinda style the pokemon series is (and how Gamefreak seems to operate) doesn't allow much room for it. Just because of new hardware/software they are not gonna limit players by cutting off areas without DLC. Sure, event items that open areas are one thing; at most you will miss is a extra legendary pokemon. With DLC one could be missing out on entire sections of the game. Besides, if Gamefreak are going to include a feature in the game, they will just add it or save it for later.

At this point there isn't a single person in the world without access to WiFi.
